I don't think anyone here is going to "disagree" with your obsevations ....they are what they are, I would say most everyone here is just out to find the "right " combo for their tastes and gear. My observation was that the amp I demoed didn't like the 2226H, there was no debating it, maybe the J model 2226 would have been better, don't know. The bottom end wasn't a little off, it was way off from what even a 75 watt SS amp could produce on that driver, thats not to say that something other than a SE-1 amp couldn't make a better match, but that particular combo was definately not playing nice together. Even switching between SS amps made a difference on my 4Pi pro's, my little D-150a (75 watts) couldn't produce as much "punch" as my 300 watt M-6000 Luxman? And I thought a watt was a watt, ya right. So who cares...just run a big A@@ SS amp, not, to my my ears I gotta get a tuber on the horn.....thats ear candy to me. That tube mid range is to die for. I've got a line on a another little SET amp to demo so I'll definately give you an update on how it goes........
